So, it looks like Esquire did this first but I'm sure we can claim having the idea first. I wanted to do this for Issue 50 -- that's four years ago in the planning -- but it turned out to be prohibitively expensive, more so with the stage the tech was at back then.

But we thought of it. Atomic is *always* ahead of the curve :)

Oh yeah Dave -- *love* the redesign!

Electra: That's interesting. We did use that on the retail cover, at least in part, but I personally think it's a very boring, static image. It doesn't really tell a story, which is something we try to do with all of our covers.

We are a hardware mag, yes, but we still do a lot of games coverage - I think we need to reflect that every now and then.

Glad folks are liking the new design so far - I may have had a few sleepless nights recently worrying over just that...
